Don’t take a GMAT CAT diagnostic test or a GRE power prep test before you begin your preparation with MBA House.

There are only 6 GMAT Focus Computer Adaptive Tests and only 3 GRE Power Prep Tests available on the market, and it’s crucial to utilize them at the correct moment. 

When preparing to take the GMAT or GRE, it’s absolutely critical to establish a solid foundation in the basics before delving into specific test strategies or intricate practice. That’s why MBA HOUSE suggests not taking a GMAT CAT or a GRE diagnostic before initiating the course. 

Diving headfirst into practice questions, particularly intricate ones featured in diagnostics, before understanding the fundamental concepts and subjects will simply “burn” a valuable evaluation tool better used at the right moment. 

Primarily, diagnostics are designed to gauge your understanding of the test content. However, without a solid grasp of foundational concepts, your performance might not accurately reflect your potential. 

Likening it to a scenario, it’s like attempting to measure the depth of the ocean when you aren’t equipped to swim. Your test score could deflate, providing a false representation of your abilities, which might lead to unnecessary stress. 

Only after this critical introduction and thorough foundational groundwork should you progress to tackling official questions and diagnosing your understanding. MBA House believes in optimizing your efficiency and precision by honing your problem-solving skills through established patterns, providing a more targeted and effective approach to your GRE and GMAT preparation. 

This method will wisely accelerate your process. More than 3,000 students have tested this methodology and achieved admittance to their dream business school since 2010.

What is the role of private tutoring in MBA HOUSE’s GMAT and GRE prep approach?

In MBA HOUSE’s GMAT and GRE prep approach, private tutoring plays a crucial role in tailoring the learning process to the individual needs of each student. This personalized approach allows for a more in-depth understanding of the student’s strengths and weaknesses, which is essential for effective preparation.

Private tutoring in this context is not used as an initial step, but rather as a subsequent phase following a core course. The core course is designed to identify the student’s level and introduce them to the basic concepts and language of the tests. Only after this initial phase does private tutoring come into play, ensuring that the student’s time is used efficiently.

During the private tutoring sessions, the focus is on solving official questions through patterns. This method is designed to help the student acquire speed without sacrificing efficiency and accuracy. It’s a strategic approach that aims to boost the student’s performance by honing their problem-solving skills and enhancing their test-taking strategies.

Moreover, private tutoring provides an opportunity for students to clarify any doubts or questions they may have about the test content or strategies. This one-on-one interaction with a tutor can significantly enhance the student’s understanding and confidence, making it an integral part of MBA HOUSE’s comprehensive and personalized approach to GMAT and GRE prep.

Why Does MBA House Only Use Official Materials?

  • MBA House believes in the authenticity and validity of studying from official materials. These materials, specifically developed by the creators of the GMAT and GRE tests, provide accurate representation of the questions, format, and difficulty level of the actual exams.
  • Unofficial study materials, while may offer a large pool of questions, often fail to replicate the nuances, style, and depth of the real test questions, potentially leading students astray in their preparation.
  • The official guides for GMAT and GRE are regularly updated with new questions extracted from previous exams, giving students a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of possible examination patterns and trends.
  • Using official materials allows MBA House to design its syllabus and teaching methodology in alignment with the actual exams, thus ensuring an efficient and more targeted preparation strategy.
  • Real exam situations, including pressure and time management, can be accurately simulated through practice with official materials, making it an invaluable aspect of the MBA House didactic approach.
